Essays on Strategy VI edited by Thomas C. Gill

Essays on Strategy VI edited by Thomas C. Gill is an essay collection originally published in 1989. These essays were selected from a competition the US government held. They are on various topics , SDI, US-Japanese relations, the role of Defense attaches, Soviet overtures in the Pacific region, US relations with Europe and Clausewitz in nuclear war. From this contents list it's pretty obvious that none of the authors believed the Soviet Union was about to collapse. Much of the debates here are of academic interest however some are still relevant to this day. Japanese rearmament as well as SDI are still hot button issues 18 years later.

Recommended.
